First thing I noticed, they changed Roshi. I figured they wouldn't use Vegeta as Garlic (as he was in the Dead Zone Abridged movie), so I gotta wonder why they changed Roshi. Good episode, though, very funny. |

They changed Roshi because Masako is terrible at voice acting and can only do one generic old man voice. He's good at Gohan, but that's pretty much it. Lani, on the other hand... Lani does good. |

Correction. Masako is decent at voice acting, he's fairly limited in the amount of voices he can do. He has somewhat good range, as he can do females fairly well, but he doesn't have that many actual voices. |

Range is an important factor is being a voice actor. I mean sure, he can pull off a convincing girl's voice but given the option between using Masako and an actual girl to voice a female character, chances are you'd go for the girl. His Goku is terrible, his Kakashi and Sasuke are sub-par, and every old man role he's done has been the same badly done voice. So what's he got left after that? Little kid voices. He's easily the weakest VA in TFS, and has done nothing but bring the overall quality of the show down with his mediocre performance. |

I think you are being a bit harsh on him there. Personally I have no real qualms with his voices. His old man could use a little range sure, but if you look at most proffessional voice actors they tend to be type cast and range isn't actually as important as one might think. |

Cam Clarke, my personal favorite voice actor, pretty much stands against everything you just said. Simba, Leonardo, Liquid Snake, and Kratos Aurion are just a few notable examples of his work. Wonderful quality and range. Hell, even Vic Mignogna, who often plays younger characters is capable of pulling off an amazing Broly and Mitsuhide Akechi. Masako isn't the worst voice actor in the world, but he's easily the worst of Team Four Star. |

I suppose that is a far assessment. I don't think he is a bad voice actor, but I can certainly see the argument that he is the worst in TFS. |

Honestly, I sort of see where you're coming from, but I don't feel that he "brings the overall quality of the show down". I don't even think he's the worst. I feel Kaiser is the worst. Kaiser does a good King Kai and a decent Korrin. That's it. |

I always saw Kaiser as a distant second to Masako. He has a few roles that don't suit him, but he's excellent at King Kai, Korrin, Zarbon and a pretty decent Burter. Masako on the other hand plays a decent Gohan, and pretty much bombs the rest of his roles. Just for clarity, I rank them as follows 1. Lani 2. Taka 3. Gan 4. Hbi2k 5. Megami 6. Antfish 7. Kaiser 8. Masako |

I feel like their best characters always seem to be the ones that didn't have a personality in the original. Popo, Nappa, Guru, and now even Maron. It's kinda funny in that way. Edited by Rasen, Dec 20 2012, 02:18 PM.
